Speaker Knockerz’s mom discussed the speculation surrounding her son's death nine years later.

Speaker Knockerz’s mother, Mesha Wilson, addressed the various theories surrounding her son's tragic 2014 death during an appearance on the Drea O Show, published on Monday. She says that “95 percent” of reports she’s seen regarding his death have been inaccurate.

“I’ve learned a lot, you know, listening to and reading some of the things that people say,” Wilson said during the discussion. “It’s like, whatever they put out in the media that people believe in and then when I see some of the things that they say, it’s not true at all. Like, 95 percent of the things that they say is not true. My son did not die of any type of drug substance or anything like that and he did not have a heart attack. I just want to clear that up. That’s not what happened to him.”

Wilson further added that ‘“none of the stuff that they’re saying out there is the truth." “When the toxicology came back, those things were not there,” Wilson said. She noted that she's not fully ready to talk about “that portion” of his life. Elsewhere during the discussion, Wilson reflected on her son's life, the time he spent with his father, and much more.
